TV presenter Adrian Chiles says he has given up wooing beautiful women – because they are “too complicated” for him.

The Match of the Day host, 42, was linked to co-presenter Christine Bleakley after being divorced by wife Jane Garvey in October for unreasonable behaviour. But ex-Strictly Come Dancing star Christine is now waltzing with Chelsea and England footballer Frank Lampard.

And Adrian, 42, whose mum was born in Zagreb, has told a Croatian paper that Christine is not his type any more.

He said: “I just hope to meet a smart female with a sense of humour – not necessarily a beautiful one. They are too complicated.”
